Description:

Missing Hogwarts? Me too :) Let's go back.

Here's what to do:

  1. Re-read "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (international variations on the title accepted!) If you haven't read the books before, you are more than welcome to join too :) But let your partner know this is your first time, just so they know you are coming at it from a different angle.

  2. By the end of October, write a letter containing your magical thoughts about the book and (owl) post it to your swap partner.

  3. Swappers may also send an owl OR a cat OR a toad.*

Your letter can be typed or handwritten. Write AT LEAST two sides of A5... Please make your letter as long as possible and share as much love as you can for this wonderful book that got so many of us hooked on reading.

*Please don't actually actually do this. It will end badly.

I haven't set a minimum rating, but will be checking for recent and unexplained 1s and 3s.

If this swap goes well, I'll create one for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" for November.

Thank you to those who have already joined :) I have just updated the swap so that those who haven't read the books before can still join and no one is left out.

I hope this is okay with everyone. If you'd prefer to just swap with someone who has read the books before, I would be happy to do a private swap with you.

I am very excited! I just joined this swap. I had been waiting until I have all the books in the series before I read them for the first time, but this is too good to pass up! (I have the first 5.) I can't wait.

@PinkPoodle - I hope you enjoy the books :) Sometimes I wish I could go back and read them again for the first time!

This is really great swap! Hope there will be swaps for all HP books ^^

@durne - swap #2 for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is now up! :) I plan to run swaps for the whole series, one book per month.
